Mounting structure

Abstract

A mounting structure for removably mounting a cover body to an external component of the cover body includes a limiting member, a latching member, and a positioning member. The limiting member is coupled to the cover body. The latching member is coupled to the limiting member and configured to latch with the external component. The positioning member defines a positioning slot and a releasing slot continuous with the positioning slot. The latching member is received in the positioning slot or the releasing slot. The latching member is movably coupled to the positioning member. When the latching member is received within the positioning slot, the latching member is locked by the positioning member and latched with the external component. When the latching member is received within the releasing slot, the latching member is released by the positioning member and released from latching with the external component.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A mounting structure for removably mounting a cover body to an external component of the cover body, the mounting structure comprising:
 a limiting member coupled to the cover body; 
 a latching member, one end of the latching member coupled to the limiting member, and another end of the latching member configured to latch with the external component; and 
 a positioning member defining a positioning slot and a releasing slot, the positioning slot continuous with the releasing slot; wherein: 
 the latching member is selectively received in either the positioning slot or the releasing slot; 
 the latching member is movably coupled to the positioning member; 
 when the latching member is moved to be received within the positioning slot, the latching member is locked by the positioning member and latched with the external component; and 
 when the latching member is moved to be received within the releasing slot, the latching member is released by the positioning member and released from latching with the external component. 
 
     
     
       2. The mounting structure of  claim 1 , further comprising a locking member configured to be moved between a locking position and a releasing position with the latching member; wherein:
 when the locking member is moved to the locking position, the latching member is locked within the positioning slot; and 
 when the locking member is moved to the releasing position, the latching member is able to be moved to be received within the releasing slot. 
 
     
     
       3. The mounting structure of  claim 2 , wherein the latching member comprises:
 an arm portion; 
 a movable end coupled to an end of the arm portion; and 
 a hook coupled to another end of the arm portion; wherein: 
 the latching member is movably coupled to the positioning member by the movable end. 
 
     
     
       4. The mounting structure of  claim 3 , wherein:
 the locking member defines a latching slot; 
 the movable end of the latching member forms a projection; 
 when the locking member is moved to the locking position, the projection abuts an inner wall of the latching slot, and the latching member is locked within the positioning slot; 
 when the locking member is moved to the releasing position, the projection does not abut the inner wall of the latching slot, and the latching member is able to be moved to be received within the releasing slot. 
 
     
     
       5. The mounting structure of  claim 4 , wherein:
 the positioning member further comprises a pushing portion forming a first inclined surface; 
 the limiting member forms a second inclined surface; and 
 when the positioning member is pressed toward the limiting member, the second inclined surface abuts the first inclined surface and causes the positioning member to move in a direction to release the latching member. 
 
     
     
       6. The mounting structure of  claim 5 , wherein:
 the positioning member comprises a positioning portion; 
 the positioning slot and the releasing slot are defined by the positioning portion. 
 
     
     
       7. The mounting structure of  claim 6 , wherein:
 the releasing slot is rectangular; and 
 the positioning slot and the releasing slot are in continuation with each other along a direction perpendicular to a length of the releasing slot. 
 
     
     
       8. A cover plate comprising a cover body and a mounting structure, the mounting structure configured to removably mount the cover body to an external component of the cover body, the mounting structure comprising:
 a limiting member coupled to the cover body; 
 a latching member, one end of the latching member coupled to the limiting member, and another end of the latching member configured to latch with the external component; and 
 a positioning member defining a positioning slot and a releasing slot, the positioning slot continuous with the releasing slot; wherein: 
 the latching member is selectively received in either the positioning slot or the releasing slot; 
 the latching member is movably coupled to the positioning member; 
 when the latching member is moved to be received within the positioning slot, the latching member is locked by the positioning member and latched with the external component; and 
 when the latching member is moved to be received within the releasing slot, the latching member is released by the positioning member and released from latching with the external component. 
 
     
     
       9. The cover plate of  claim 8 , wherein:
 the mounting structure further comprises a locking member configured to be moved between a locking position and a releasing position with the latching member; 
 when the locking member is moved to the locking position, the latching member is locked within the positioning slot; and 
 when the locking member is moved to the releasing position, the latching member is able to be moved to be received within the releasing slot. 
 
     
     
       10. The cover plate of  claim 9 , wherein:
 the latching member comprises an arm portion, a movable end, and a hook; 
 the movable end is coupled to one end of the arm portion; 
 the hook is coupled to another end of the arm portion; and 
 the latching member is movably coupled to the positioning member by the movable end. 
 
     
     
       11. The cover plate of  claim 10 , wherein:
 the locking member defines a latching slot; 
 the movable end of the latching member forms a projection; 
 when the locking member is moved to the locking position, the projection abuts an inner wall of the latching slot, and the latching member is locked within the positioning slot; 
 when the locking member is moved to the releasing position, the projection does not abut the inner wall of the latching slot, and the latching member is able to be moved to be received within the releasing slot. 
 
     
     
       12. The cover plate of  claim 11 , wherein:
 the positioning member further comprises a pushing portion forming a first inclined surface; 
 the limiting member forms a second inclined surface; and 
 when the positioning member is pressed toward the limiting member, the second inclined surface abuts the first inclined surface and causes the positioning member to move in a direction to release the latching member. 
 
     
     
       13. The cover plate of  claim 12 , wherein:
 the positioning member comprises a positioning portion; 
 the positioning slot and the releasing slot are defined by the positioning portion. 
 
     
     
       14. The cover plate of  claim 13 , wherein:
 the releasing slot is rectangular; and 
 the positioning slot and the releasing slot are in continuation with each other along a direction perpendicular to a length of the releasing slot.
